Characterization and Catalytic Properties of Nano-Sized Au Metal Catalyst on Titanium Containing High Mesoporous Silica (Ti-HMS) Synthesized by Photo-Assisted Deposition and Impregnation Methods

The photo-assisted deposition (PAD) and impregnation (img) synthesis of nano-sized Au metal on Ti-HMS are reported. The prepared catalysts were characterized by different techniques such as XRD, XAFS, TEM and nitrogen adsorption analysis. Photocatalytic reactivity using Au/Ti-HMS catalysts under vis...
